Anyways, it seemed your line of thinking was Poser doesn't need this part of the industry, because it's bottomline is healthy but apparently SM's bottom line isn't healthy.

Poser's bottom line could be healthy even if SM's isn't. If SM goes under, I imagine another company will buy Poser. It's not like we haven't seen it before.

And no one truly knows if Posers is or not. I expect the next few months will be telling for Poser. So can SM really afford to narrow Poser's market and long term interests? I think Poser's future is tied to SM, if SM goes down Poser needs to be as viable as possible to attract new investment or it might just end up in a New Mexico Ground fill somewhere.

Or...can SM really afford to cater to a small minority of Poser users when they need cash elsewhere?

Like I said, if SM goes down, it will be sold off, in pieces or as a whole. If it's profitable, someone will buy it. If it's not, DAZ compatibility won't save it.

Heck, maybe DAZ will buy it. They can make it Genesis compatible, and start giving it away for free!
